Make it (the telling of this particular location's importance) a part of the state history curriculum. It's a false choice to say it's either "keep the monuments to slavery" or " we'll all live in ignorance".
There are other ways to disseminate this history. Maybe the city could take the sign and add it to a museum along side a picture of the structure.
This place needs to come down.
